Nurse faces unfair HIPAA violation write-up because printed discharge papers for another nurse were attributed to her, with no way to verify who actually reviewed the paperwork.

Workarounds Described

• Nurses print discharge papers for each other when one lacks computer access
• Nurses often leave their computers logged in, allowing others to use their accounts

Implied Software Gaps

• Secure print release with user authentication and automatic audit trail to prevent misattribution
• Automatic logout or fast user switching to prevent unauthorized use of a logged-in computer

SecurePrint Audit

An EHR-integrated secure document printing and verification system that requires user authentication at the printer and logs who physically retrieves and reviews printed materials, ensuring accurate accountability.
